LOL @ this thread. 
One word of advice - if you are addicted to vinyl, for the love of god, DO NOT get a credit card!!!! It will spell your demise.
At least with cash, when you run out - you run out. You can't make money materialise out of thin air.
But with a credit card, you *can*. (sorta) 
Then you are seriously in debt and worrying to no end about how you'll ever pay it off.
Then you just forget about it and buy more vinyl!!! lol
ive finally overcome my addiction and only buy records that I can use in clubs. . . instead of buying those "MUST HAVE" records that only gets played like 3 times.
hmm... this aint good... you guys are bastards..
i had decided NOT to buy any vinyl today, but after seeing this topic and having a look at the 20-30 records on my "to buy" list, im on my way to the record store! 
the worst i've ever done, however, is spend my ENTIRE ($US700) fortnightly pay on records... they were good records, but i got a threatening letter from my real estate agent!
stupid vinyl......... somebody remind me why i do this? oh yeah, i love the music... but still... i shouldnt be spending this much on records... should i?

Its the feel of joy and adrenaline when you receive it in the mail or pick it up at the store, the overwhelming feeling of the urge to play the record when you feel that special vinyl flavour. The happiness when you get to cue it up before mixing it in with another track, the totally awesome feeling to look down at your decks and see for instance see the vinyl say "Banzai - DJ PROMO", "PERFECTO" (in that nice blue color), "DATA" or whatever label it might be, just to look down and see the beauty that has reached your home. Part of listening to vinyls is buying them, not downloading shitty mp3s that is compressed and listening to them via final scratch. Thats the cheapo's way of doing it and he is missing out on so much. Its like saying no to a date with the finest, best looking girl in the city so you can date your sister instead. Finally, Zain, look again. You might have it all figured out, but Im sorry to say, you haven't. There isnt anything that says that someone who plays and collects vinyl must buy 20-30 records a month, you can buy just one every year if you want. But its like sex, the first time its prolly a worthless track that you just buyed because it was beeing re-pressed but you are still hooked, and you start experimenting with different shops, labels and ways of playing.  |

When I realise that I really really love a track I have as an mp3, just out of interest I go to juno or chemical and see if they have it... then I get anxious to buy it up because I figure I might not have the chance to do so if I wait around! This has gone on for the last 7 or 8 months and I now have about 80 vinyls. I DON'T EVEN HAVE DECKS. |
yay!
This post reminds me of my girl MissCreant's comic number 3. Check it hurr...
Does anybody have a vinyl addiction?
LOTs of pics-beware!!!!!
This isnt even all of them (cant get to all my old breaks stuff its hidden behind boxes of crap)- and doesnt include all my cds....
I also have another UDG bag full which is in my car. ALl those metal boxes are full by the way...
Part One:
Part Two:
Phew...
Doesnt include stuff im selling on ebay, or a lot of hip hop/r&b shizzle either.
In fact- i think i need to start something-'Djs anonymous'
"Hi, Im freak, and im addicted to vinyl" Heeellllllllp meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
^^^^^^^
you must of spent a hella lot of money on that
at first i was just buying classics, like the tunes that got me into trance and then progressed into purchasing more "current" titles... now i just pretty much stock up on anything round and made of vinyl ie. culture club - karma chameleon.
my addiction is getting out of hand, but the thing is i dont really regret a single purchase, like i couldnt part with any of my babies (except a few here and there). it almost seems justified in the end... almost.
Get this everyone. There are 3 record stores by my house and the one I like most is 45 minutes away. I try to stop their at least once a week to see what is new. They seem to sell all the good stuff as soon as it hits the floor so I try to call and go on days shipments come. However, I aways end up buying at least 2 vinyls everytime I go there. It is an addiction but I managed to my charge to much vinyl. I use my debit/credit card. The good thing about the other 2 recoreds stores is I have an excuse to buy somethng from them when I am in the area. However the thing I hate about buying vinyls is I will know a title but don't know the name of a record. I will be starring at it in the store not know that's the vinyl and by teh time I find out thats the one I want, it's sold out. I have a whole lists of imports I am still waiting for teh store to stock again. It seems like when they sell out they never get that vinyl back in stock.
freak, how are those udg bags? I might get me one.
+1 Of course I have the same problem. I'm a tranceaddict!

Why is it so addictive? I ask because I'm a producer, not a DJ...but I would like to try at one of these days. I'm good with rhythm and syncro. Anyway, what's so addictive about buying records? I know I'm always getting new gear without needing it...just to have another thing to play with...so I never get to learn a synth completely, haha. eBay owns me I swear.
i think u all should go to vinyl anonumous, "hello my names John and I'm a vinylholic".
i have this problem. its awful and im going broke b/c of it. i have some cool records tho
lucky that i'm broke all the time, and that i don't get as much as cash, otherwise i would buy vinyl(+cdm+cds+cd) for the entire paycheck,
and freak, respect with that micheal jackson - off the wall album, only have the cd, but i do have thiller tho
i got my decks three weeks ago, i now own about 80 records, does that count as being addicted

I think most of my paycheck goes to vinyl even if i have no money ill find money for vinyl. If i walk into a record store i cant get out unless i have 50-100$ worth of vinyl :VINYL JUNKIE
I used to be. Dropping 200-300 a week was no big deal. Now, though, I have learned to stay away from dancerecords.com for a couple weeks at a time (I have to buy stuff when I visit - I just have to). This has proved a lot healthier on my budget. To be honest, my worst budget buster is eBay. That place for some reason just makes me spend 100s every time I go to it.
im retsrained in a shop- but online its just soooo easy- especially with several whopping credit cards.
As you can see, im addicted.
